Nor have I ever seen a formation anything like this one! Great title for the shot though. It surely brings to mind a hostile space ship. And the lighting of gray and white is perplexing, almost like a hint of the individual bodies or spirits that make up the vessel.

Good stuff. This is my real job, Meteorology and this is a very beautiful capture of a cumulonimbus incus. Rather, the mature stage of a thunderstorm. Looks to be some intense wind shear aloft depicted by the very crisp edges and ceiling that do not look frayed. These kind of storms usually turn into super cells and last for hours in contrast with the normal life span of a cloud. Sorry… I can ramble on all day. Love clouds and this is an excellent Capture. Well done!!!
